Zhao Chen learned a lot from the meeting with Dayao. After returning to the team hotel, Zhao Chen opened the video again and chatted with Enna for a while.
Enna tied her hair into a bun today and wore short sleeves that were very cool.
"When the netizens ask questions via video, there will be a help section. I wrote down three help numbers, including one of yours, is that okay?" Enna said.
"Of course, you can decide this matter." Zhao Chen replied.
"Aren't you worried about them leaking the number?" Enna asked.
"Don't worry." Zhao Chen said.
"Well, it's just this time anyway. I think this interview will be safer." Enna said.
"I'm very happy." Zhao Chen smiled.
Zhao Chen could hear some of Enna's lack of confidence.
It seems that interviewing at Penguin made her feel the pressure of competition.
........
I just turned off the video with Enna.
Zhao Chen unexpectedly received a call from Stephen Curry.
Zhao Chen has a good relationship with Curry. The two have occasionally communicated since they met on the court.
Curry and Westbrook are similar off the court. They are also the type of players who are loyal to their families and are relatively easy to talk to Zhao Chen.
"Zhao, I want to know how you manage a team with a strong inside line?" Curry asked directly.
After hearing this, Zhao Chen knew that Curry was in trouble in the playoffs.
The Warriors' opponent in the second round is the Clippers, and the Clippers' insiders are Griffin and DeAndre Jordan.
The Warriors were already 0-2 behind. Curry encountered crazy attacks in the first two games and was in a very sluggish state.
This season, Curry averaged a career-high 24 points and 8.5 assists per game in the regular season. He was also selected as a starter in the All-Star voting, surpassing Kobe Bryant and Paul to become the backcourt vote leader in the Western Conference;
The Warriors have achieved the sixth record in the Western Conference with 51 wins, but if placed in the Eastern Conference, this is already the top three level. Not only that, Curry is also ranked sixth on the MVP list-his performance can be called super. Superstar.
In the second round of the playoffs, the Warriors faced the powerful Clippers in the Western Conference. They reimbursed Bogut and Ezeli before the game, and third center O'Neal was also reimbursed after the first game. In other words, they almost didn't even have an orthodox center. nothing!
The Warriors are really miserable right now.
"Stephen, are you sure you are asking your competitors for advice?" Zhao Chen teased.
"If you don't ask for advice, you will be eliminated. You are still a competitor." Curry said depressedly.
Zhao Chen's three-point shooting style is very similar to Curry's. Although Zhao Chen is only a rookie, Curry feels that Zhao Chen has the experience and qualifications to discuss these issues with him.
Whether it was the Black and White Bears or Howard, when Zhao Chen met them, he played far better than Curry when he met Griffin and DeAndre Jordan.
Zhao Chen destroyed their outside line as proof.
"You pulled them out and hit them in the wrong position." Zhao Chen gave his opinion.
Zhao Chen felt that this shouldn't be too difficult for Curry, and he also didn't understand how this guy Curry could be like this?
"They moved very fast and kept standing on the three-point line, which interfered with me a lot." Curry said frankly.
"Then if you increase the three-point range further, they won't be able to interfere." Zhao Chen gave advice.
"Further? How far?" Curry asked.
Curry has not entered a crazy state this season. His three-pointers are more standard three-pointers, which are near the three-point line.
"You can do it within half the court. Don't you have such ability?" Zhao Chen said.
Curry was silent for a while after hearing this.
"I really wanted to take action like that, but the coach probably wouldn't let me," Curry said.
"Then use goals to shut him up." Zhao Chen replied.
Zhao Chen used one blow after another to silence Brooks.
"Okay, let me try." Curry thought Zhao Chen's suggestion was good.
Super long three-pointer? He should be able to, too.
Zhao Chen did not help Curry realize that turning on the super long three-point button would open Pandora's box.
Zhao Chen is absolutely confident in his current strength.
What about Curry? Same challenge.
Moreover, even if he doesn't say this, Curry himself will be completely liberated in the end.
The stronger the opponent, the more excited Zhao Chen will feel.
Compared with the world-famous Curry in later generations, the current Curry is just an ordinary star player.
If there are fans who are Curry fans at this time, they are Curry's die-hard fans. As for fans at other times, they can also be collectively referred to as "primary school fans."
Curry's career hasn't been smooth sailing.
Because of Curry's thin body, experts were not optimistic about Curry before the draft. After his rookie season with the Warriors, Curry could only take the third most shots on the team, and his performance was far inferior to the team's other guard Monta Ellis. Excellent, even compared to fellow rookies, more people were paying attention to Jennings and Evans at the time.
In the following seasons, Curry missed a large number of games due to ankle injuries. Curry's exposure was not high. Warriors fans and the Golden State media even mocked him as a "glass man", and the Warriors only gave Curry one share. Early renewal of 44 million for 4 years.
The season Zhao Chen experienced was the 13-14 season, and there were too many teams that paid far more attention than the Warriors.
The Big Three Heat, the Thunder, the team Spurs, the Clippers, the city of alley-oops, and the declining Lakers.
Although the Splash Brothers' fame gradually spread, they were far from as explosive as the current Big Three of the Thunder.
Comparing the reputations of Curry and Zhao Chen, although Curry is an All-Star starter and Zhao Chen is a rookie, Zhao Chen has a lot of attention and a domestic fan base, and is still more popular than him.
This season, Zhao Chen's style of play and performance have subverted the perceptions of fans and the media. His various ultra-long-distance three-pointers and chasing three-pointers in transition offense are very exciting.
Most fans do not deny that Curry is an All-Star player, but he is only an All-Star, while Zhao Chen is considered a super giant amidst the enthusiasm of fans and media...
After hanging up the phone from Curry, Zhao Chen was just getting ready to go to bed when he received another call.
Durant?
The relationship between Durant and Zhao Chen was in the honeymoon period. Because they kept winning, Durant thought he and Zhao Chen had made breakthrough progress.
"Zhao, I thought of a good idea to win." Durant said excitedly.
"Um?"
"The two of us were playing pick-and-rolls throughout the game, and they couldn't guard the two of us," Durant said.
"Are you crazy for wanting to drink the bath water?" Zhao Chen replied.
"Don't you think this tactic is great? We can win until the end."
"I don't think we can just play like the previous two games."
"Snapped!"
After saying that, Zhao Chen hung up the phone.
The maturity he thought Durant had was just an illusion. This guy was still so naive.
Winning in the playoffs is not that simple.
It is undeniable that the Thunder's super giant is very strong, but the game is for five people, and the Thunder's other positions are not weak either.
If it weren't for the defense of Sefolosha and Robertson, and the rebounding and blocking of Adams, the first two games would not have been so easy.
If it really ended up being a two-person game, the Thunder would be doomed.
